Nobody at the club calls it Falmer. They won't call it Falmer on the TV, or in any stadium announcements or website news etc... it is and will be called The AMEX or The American Express Community Stadium (AmECS).

Home pronounced ... Home.

I rather like the Geordie pronunciation myself: HERM

Sorry I could be misunderstanding something here and DO forgive my ignorance (I really haven't been keeping up to be honest) but is this not because American Express have paid for the naming rights or whatever so Albion are under contract to call it that instead of just the Community Stadium or Falmer?

My point in the earlier post, and it is not really an issue, is that by me calling it the Amex I am unconsciously advertising a brand I don't and would not want to use. I don't ask someone to pass me a Kleenex I ask for a tissue. I pay by credit card and not Visa or whatever, although Coke would be an exception.

To put this in context I don't think you would find Reuters or AFP calling the Premier League the Barclaycard Premiership or the League Cup the Carling Cup or whatever as those news wires have no financial interest, like Sky have with Barclays.

Like I said, I would have got it all wrong so I'll shut up there.

I don't think you have anything wrong... but 99% of people will call it The Amex.

If you like feeling special by refusing to do so, then good luck to you.

To be honest I will probably end up calling it that I just don't like all this naming rights bollocks. I know it is unavoidable with all these major greedhead companies splashing the cash around but don't you think it is so, well, Major League Baseball. I notice a lot of people saying they would rather have a replica shirt without the sponsor's log for same reasons I guess. Then again maybe I am just an old fart

99% ? where did you find these stats?

I made it up. After a few weeks, is it really going to be any other way?

Anyway, it's not really important, is it? I will called it the AmECS. What other people do is clearly up to them.

 

[LA1972]

Time for a poll. I will never call it the amex.

 

[thejackal]

I think we should call it the Flamex in honour of Russell Salde....

 

[Nottseagull]

Tell that to Alec Douglas-Home.

Blimey, I didn't realise he was still alive. Must remember to put him on my celebrity death list.

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

More importantly, why's everyone happy with it being called THE Amex after all the hoo-hah about saying THE Withdean? Same difference.

 

[Tristram Fourmile]

I've worked for Amex on and off for 20 years. Only Americans call it AYmex and they are all idiots. Wouldnt know Europe if it came and poked them in the eye.

 

[Conkers]

A Mex.
Easy.

 

[Poyetry In Motion]
